Featured Artist – ‘TUT’ Totally Unique Treasures

I have been an artist of some kind since I can remember. If I was not drawing, painting or creating something by hand, I was creating music and entertaining the masses. My husband and I refer to ourselves as “The Ultimate Recyclers” because we try to recycle everything as environmentally friendly as possible. That includes but is not limited to paper, plastic, aluminum, and cardboard. We also love to buy and sell vintage and antique items. I have been dubbed by many as a recycle artist, as I use many vintage, unwanted, discarded, and broken jewelry pieces and combine them with other items to create wearable art. That which I cannot use to create wearable art, I create hangable art or home décor items.

I also love to bead and love to attend bead, gem & mineral, and craft shows. I tend to pick out the wackiest beads and stones to make the most unique articles of jewelry for myself and for sale. I tumble my own stones as well, both semi-precious and plain. My next goal is to learn how to facet stones and fuse silver. In the winter time I love to knit and crochet fuzzy, bulky, and unique scarves.

I now have a new way of offering my art to the world. I introduced GLAZZ TATTZ© my first time selling them at the Champions Kids Camp benefit. A charity I donate to and work every year. I paint these bright and sometimes soulful tattoos for your glass with the highest quality window color paint on the highest quality cling vinyl. I can also custom design GLAZZ TATTZ© to emulate crystal clear or colored bevel glass. I can make a window or entrance way look as if you have spent thousands of dollars in stained or beveled glass!

I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Information Technology and have to thank the creators of Etsy.com for the opportunity to combine my passion and my skills to present my art to the people of earth and maybe even beyond. I never seem to run out of ideas so if you do not see anything new in my shop for a few days, it just means that I cannot tear myself away from my workshop. I never know what I will come up with next and never stick to any one medium.
